Navajo Ring Size 9 Mother of Pearl Sterling Silver Native American Vintage Z

WELCOME to High Desert Turquoise!

This is a new ring in that it has never been used, worn, or purchased and is in pristine condition. It\'s a vintage because it\'s more than 30 years old.

First, a little information about vintage Native American jewelry. In my opinion, this venue unethically allows sellers to list ANYTHING with the words \"vintage,\" \"pawn,\" estate,\" and similar words in the titles and description even if the item was made six months ago. Sadly, most buyers don\'t know they\'re being scammed and paying obscenely high prices in some cases and, when and if they find out, it\'s too late to do anything about it. In other cases, buyers get the entirely erroneous idea that nice vintage jewelry should be selling for less than new which simply isn\'t true.

Some of these sellers buff off hallmarks (hallmarks and sterling stamps didn\'t become nearly obligatory until about 15 years ago) and artificially age the sterling silver to make it look old. Laugh if you will, but one seller actually put jewelry in a coffee can and buried it for six months in her backyard to age the finish. Others buy the jewelry with \"old pawn\" finishes which in and of itself isn\'t wrong, but then they go on to represent revivalist pieces are \"old\" when in fact they are not.

You can rely on sellers with the IACA logo. IACA members are rigorously vetted and must adhere to a high standard of ethics which includes representing what they sell as accurately as possible. Look for sellers displaying the IACA logo such as displayed in my listings.

This size 9ring features a large oval off white mother of pearl (oyster) cabochon (domed) stone measuring 7/8ths\" by 9/16ths.\" It\'s mounted in an engraved bezel with a sterling silver twisted rope overlay surrounding the stone.

The triple split shank rejoins to a generous width of more than 1/8th\" so your jeweler could easily re size it if needed.

These rings were part of a lot originally earmarked for export my husband purchased in either 1988 or 1989 from a well respected Native American jewelry trading company in Albuquerque. The original European buyer had reduced his order, and my husband bought the remainder.

The ring is hallmarked with initials \"DT\" and stamped .925 (sterling) silver.
